Police officers advise inhabitants to leave an area which had to be evacuated after a World War II bomb has been found at a building site near Berlin's main train station. Police spokesman Thomas Neuendorf said the 220-pound (100-kilogram) bomb was found during construction. Experts will decide how to dispose of the bomb. It wasn't clear how large an area might need to be sealed off for them to defuse it. Allied airplanes dropped huge quantities of ordnance on Germany during World War II in efforts to cripple the Nazi war machine. Tens of thousands of unexploded bombs are believed still to be in the ground. Photo: AP
